Butternut squash, potato and chilli soup
Top, tail and halve the squash, before removing seeds, whilst also putting new potatoes on to boil
Pour over some oil, salt & pepper, add anything you think might work with it, I used garlic, cumin & a bay leaf.
Roast until soft, remove from skin and add to pan of already softened onions & peppers, followed by the potatoes.
Allow this to all cook together, add the chilli, blitz it up, then season to taste.

Done. Keeps very well too.

Sounds good.
A small dollop of coconut milk might be good in that, too.

Aye, very much so
It'll also be a way of making it a little milder if you go OTT with the chilli
